His Gorgeous Muslimah (completed) √

CHAPTER TWELVE

UMAR'S POV
I closed my eyes as the plane took off muttering silent prayers. I've always been afraid of these two moments. When the plane is taking off and when it's landing. Mum and my sister would always tease me but I just can't help it. Suddenly, I remembered the sad look on mum's face when I told her I would be leaving for Abuja yesterday. After telling her my reasons, she understood and I promised to be visiting after every two weeks.
I feel Jiddah needs help. Her closeness to Amma isn't a good thing . AmmA is my cousin but I wouldn't want someone like Jidda whom I barely know to get too close to her. Amma is really into guys. She dates a then dump, dates and dump. Sooner or later, she would be influencing Jiddah.
Everything about Amma is just so......😔. Let's start from her dressing, manners and the kind of people she relates with both males and females. It's so unfortunate. She's a party girl and also a mummy's girl. Dad isn't always around so he isn't aware of most things she does.
It was already maghrib when we landed. I was about to dial Al Amin's number when my phone started ringing and I guess right. It was mum. I smiled and picked the call. "Mummy you should have given me at least 5 minutes to get out of this crowded airport " .
I heard her chuckle softly "when did calling to check on my son become a crime baby. ?"
"Mummy....... " I started. "Shhhhhhh!" she said interrupting me. "Call me when you get home OK?! And my regards to Jidda and the rest."
She said and hung up.
It took my so called best friend thirty minutes to come. "Don't complain Faruk. You should thank me instead. " This guy is a jerk.
"I should thank you for taking so long to come and pick me right? I was expecting you to be waiting for me at least that's how it's meant to be "
"Yeah! You should thank me because I ditched my girlfriend just because of you. " I smiled at his confession.
"Don't I deserve it?" I asked as we approached his car. "You think I'm joking right. You will know how it feels when I interrupt the moment you will be having with Jiddah ONE DAY" he said as he started the car stressing the "One day." I knew he was trying to bring up Jiddah's topic so I pretended deaf ears.
Two cars were parked in front of the house when we got there. I looked at Al Amin wondering what was happening? He shrugged and opened the door. I did same and with my bag in my hand, I approached the house trying to study those cars.
I'm sure I guessed right. It was Amma and a guy inside one of the cars and then Jiddah and a guy were standing behind the second car. He was blabbing about what I don't know and from the look on her face, she was fed up and it was so obvious she isn't interested.
" Assalamu alaikum " I said extending my hand to the guy Jidda was with and he did the same. After exchanging pleasantries , I went inside not even sparing her a glance.
"Faruk! " someone called and I instantly recognized who it was. She hugged me from the back jumping like a three year old. If not AmmA who would that be?
"Faruk why didn't you tell us you were coming? I would have prepared something special for you. "
"I wanted to surprise you guys Amma" I turned and was about to leave when she grabbed my bag. "Let me help you with this "
"No thank you. Don't keep your boyfriend waiting. We would talk later. "
"He's not my boyfriend Faruk. " it's so obvious she's lying. "He likes Jiddah but she doesn't like him. She likes Fati's brother that is, the person she's with and this guy doesn't want to understand so she begged me to speak some sense into him ".
Wow. What a nice one Amma, I thought. "Well, who ever he is, just don't keep him waiting. "
"He's already gone " she said and I let her take my bag and together, we got inside the house. Al Amin left earlier saying he doesn't want to see me crying when we saw Jiddah with that jerk. "I don't like her. I only feel pity for her." I told him severally but he keeps saying "TIME WILL TELL. "
I went to bed immediately after Isha prayers and also after Jiddah came in looking flustered. I was alone in the sitting room when she entered. The moment I saw her, I stood up and went to my room not responding to her greetings.
I called mum and after spending hours speaking with her, I hung up promising we will talk after Subhi. Mom goes to bed very early so I never feel comfortable talking to her for too long after Isha.
"Jidda can you hear me? " the guy on the other line asked. "Yes." she replied sounding frustrated. I listened to their conversation and felt irritated with what he was telling her. She kept quiet and when he was done blabbing and confessing his endless love for her she said something which made me start to question myself.
"I'm so sorry Nasir. I can't date you. I'm already in a relationship and my boyfriend is the jealous type. I won't cheat on him because I love him so much. I'm sorry Nasir. "
"Do you expect me to believe what you just said? " he asked. "Amma told me you were single. "
"Amma doesn't approve of my relationship with the guy. She wants me to be with you instead. "
No one spoke and I'm sure he must be reasoning. "Can you do me a favor Jiddah?" he asked breaking the silence. "Even if we can't date, I would like us to be friends. Close friends. I don't mean friends with benefits but I want to call always call you and speak with you and you know, we can hang out that's if your boyfriend wouldn't mind. Wallahi my intentions are positive."
"Your favour is being granted Nasir and thanks for understanding. "
Wow! Jiddah has a boyfriend. Who is he? I want to know everything about him but suddenly, I remembered what Amma told me earlier. I am now confused . There's no one to ask. So sad. 😔
I lay back thinking of all that has happened from the first time I saw Jiddah till date. I think I do this almost everyday.

Hi cupcakes! Yeah yeah. I'm fine thank you. What about you?
